CHAPTER 1. 



CHURCH HISTORY. 

The (Presbyterian) Assembly's Church was organized 
March 9, 1853, under the name, style and title of the 
Fifth Presbyterian Church, with twenty members. 

Rev. Andrew G. Carothers was chosen Pastor, and John 
Douglas, and John S. Clements, Ruling Elders. , 

At a meeting of the members and pew-holders held 
May 13, 1855, the name of the church was changed to its 
present style and title in compliment to the General As- 
sembly of the Presbyterian Church, which was in session 
in Washington at the time the enterprise was planned, 
and contributions for the object were received from per- 
sons representing twenty-two States of the Union. 

Since its formation the church has had five pastors, viz : 

Rev^. Andrew G. Carothers, from March 9, 1853, to No- 
vember 10, i860. 

Rev. T. B. McFalls, from March 31, 1861, to Decem- 
ber 3, 1867. 

Rev. William Hart, from February 5, 1868, to April 
I, 1870. 

Rev. Charles B. Boynton, D. D., from June 24, 1870, to 
May I, 1873; ^iid the present pastor. Rev. George O, 
Little, who was called June i, 1873.

CHAPTER 11. 

CONCERNING ELECTIONS AND ELECTORS. 

It is important that the church and congregation should 
be familiar with the rules and regulations by which they 
are governed, and thoroughly interested in the choice of 
men who shall be over them in spiritual matters, or who 
shall care for the finances of the church. The powers- 
and duties of the various officers of the church, and the 
law and the facts concerning elections and electors are 
therefore briefly set forth. 

I. — The Church Session. 

The Session consists of the Pastor and Ruling Elders. 
They are charged with maintaining the spiritual gov- 
ernment of the congregation ; for which purpose they 
have power to inquire into the knowledge and christian 
conduct of the members of the church ; to call before 
them offenders and witnesses, being members of their 
own Congregation, and to introduce other witnesses where 
it may be necessary to bring the process to issue, and 
when, they can be procured, to attend ; to receive mem- 
bers into the church ; to admonish, to rebuke, to suspend,, 
to exclude from the sacraments those who are found ta 
deserve censure ; to concert the best measures for pro- 
moting the spiritual interests of the congregation ; and 
to appoint delegates to the higher judicatories of the 
church." 



-5- 



The Pastor is Moderator of the Session : and two El- 
ders and the Pastor constitute a quorum. 

The Session meets on the first Monday of each month. 

The Elders, according to the Form of Government, 
(Book I; Chap. 5,) ''are properly the representatives of 
the people, chosen by them for the purpose of exercis- 
ing government and discipline in conjunction with the 
Pastor." 

They '' must be male members in full communion with 
the church." (F. G. chap, xiii, sec. 2.) 

Every church may determine the number and the mode 
by which to conduct the election of its Elders. 

In this church the number is six, so classified that the 
terms of two expire every second year ; and the election 
is by ballot, without nomination, at a meeting of which 
previous notice has been given from the pulpit. All 
members of the church in good standing are entitled to 
vote, and a majority of all the votes is neceasary to an 
•election. 

They are to be set apart, if not previously ordained, 
by the laying on of the hands of the Session, and in the 
mode required by the Form of Government, chap. xiii. 

The office, in this church, is for a term of six years, 
and active participation in the eldership ends at the ex- 
piration of the term, unless the incumbent be re-elected 
to the office. 

2. — Deacons. 

The Scriptures clearly point out deacons as distinct 
officers in the church, whose business it is to take care of 



-6- 



the poor, and to distribute among them the collections 
which may be raised for their use." (F. G., chap, vi.) 

They must have the same qualifications, and be set 
apart, or ordained in the same manner as elders. (F. G., 
chap, xiii.) 

In this church, the number of deacons is two ; the term 
of office four years, one term expiring every second year ; 
and the elections and electors are the same as in case of 
elders. 

3. — Trustees. 

Under the laws of the District of Columbia, (Rev. Stat, 
of D. C., chap, xviii, p. 65,) any society or congregation 
formed for the purpose of religious worship may elect, or 
appoint any number of trustees, not exceeding ten ; may 
provide for the filling of vacancies ; and may adopt such 
rules and regulations in relation to the duties of trustees, 
and the management of its estate, as the members may 
deem proper, not inconsistent with the Constitution of 
the United States, and the laws in force in the District. 

The Laws of this church, adopted for the government 
of the congregation and the trustees, provide : 

That the number of Trustees shall be seven ; that they 
shall be elected by ballot at the annual meeting of the 
Congregation, the second Wednesday of December, and 
shall serve one year, or until their successors are elected ; 
that they shall be members of the Congregation, and 
over twenty-one years of age ; that they shall elect of 
their number, a President, Vice President, Secretary, 



-7- 



Treasurer, and an Auditing Committee of two ; that the 
President of the Board of Trustees shall preside at the 
meetings of the Congregation, and the Secretary act as 
clerk ; that the trustees shall have charge of the financial 
affairs of the Congregation ; that they shall fix and estab- 
lish the rate at which pews shall be rented, and make 
all the regulations respecting the same ; that they shall 
attend to the collection of all accounts, and to the dis- 
bursement of all funds ; shall designate annually the per- 
sons to take up the collections ; shall preserve order and 
secure the church premises from improper intrusion ; and 
shall make a full report of the financial condition of the 
church at the annual meeting of the Congregation. 

Vacancies in the Board of Trustees can only be filled 
by the Congregation, and at a special meeting called for 
the purpose, by notice read from the pulpit, at least one 
Sabbath before the time specified for the meeting, and a 
two -thirds vote of the members present and voting shall 
be necessary to an election. 

The voters of the Congregation shall be persons in 
good standing in the communion of the church, and free 
from church censure, and pew -holders. Provided, that 
no person shall hold office, or be entitled to vote who is 
in arrears six months for pew rent, or under any church 
censure. 

These laws of the church may be altered or amended, 
by a two -thirds vote of the members present and voting 
at any annual meeting, or at any special meeting called 
for that purpose, by notice read from the pulpit on two 
successive Sabbaths next preceding the meeting. 



-8- 



[Deliverance of the General Assembly of 1874. See page 84 of the Published 
Minutes.] 

I. That the Constitution of our church charges the 
. session with supervision of the spiritual interests of the 

the Congregation, and all services and matters pertaining 
thereto, and that any action of the Board of Trustees, 
unauthorized by the Congregation, tending to annul or 
contravene in any way such supervision and control, is 
illegal and void." 

II. " That as regards the church building. Sabbath 
School and Lecture Room, the Trustees have no right to 
grant or withhold the use of either against the wishes or 
consent of the Session." 



CHAPTER III. 

PRESBYTERIAN DOCTRINE. 

The doctrinal system taught in the Presbyterian Church 
is commonly called Calvinistic, taking this designation 
from the name of John Calvin, its most eminent ex- 
pounder. 

This system of doctrine is set forth in the Confession of 
Faith, and no person can be ordained as a minister, elder, 
or deacon in the Presbyterian Church, who is not able to 
say that he' 'receives and adopts" that Confession of 
Faith, as "containing the system of doctrine taught in 
the Holy Scriptures." 

The Westminster Shorter Catechism is a most excellent 
summary of the doctrines taught in the Confession of 
Faith, and should be made familiar to all Presbyterian 
people early in life. 



-9- 



A still more brief summary of ih.t p?'incipal doctrines of 
this system is hereto appended, and is commended to the 
attentive study of all in this congregation. 

Let it be distinctly understood, however, that for viei?i- 
bership in the Presbyterian Church, no such doctrinal 
qualification is required as that above stated for its 
officers. 

For admission to membership in full communion, it is 
only required that the applicant shall understand the 
Scriptural meaning and use of the Sacraments, and shall 
truly repent of his sins, and believe on the Lord Jesus 
Christ. 

The doctrinal statements in the Confession of Faith, in 
the Catechism, or in this Manual, are for your faithful 
and candid study, diligently comparing them with Holy 
Scripture ; but your inability to regard any of these state- 
ments as agreeing with the Scriptures, is not an obstacle 
to your admission to the Communion. For this the 

ONLY QUALIFICATIONS ARE REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN rriE 

Lord Jesus Christ. Of these qualifications, our form of 
government requires that the Pastor and Elders shall 
judge. They are to do this with fidelity, yet with the ut- 
most tenderness and charity. 

Principal Doctrines of the Confession of Faith. 

I. There is one Infinite God, eternally existing in an 
incomprehensible Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
Deut. vi : 4 ; Matt, xxviii 119; John i : i ; Acts v : 3, 4; 
I Cor. viii : 4. 



-10- 



2. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testament 
are the Word of God, our only infalUble rule of faith and 
practice. — Isa. viii : 20 ; II Tim. iii : 16. 

3. God directeth, or controlleth all events, after the 
counsel of His own will, to the fulfilment of his un- 
changeable purpose, yet in consistency with the free 
agency of men and the use of means. — Luke xxii : 22; 
Acts ii : 23 ; Eph i : 11. 

4. Our first parents were perfectly holy, but fell from 
that state by disobedience ; and all their posterity are by 
nature entirely sinful.~Gen. i: 27; Gen. iii : 8; Rom. 
iii : 9 ; Rom. v : 12, 15, 17 ; Eph. ii : 3. 

5. The Son of God was made flesh and died to atone 
for the sins of mankind ; salvation from sin, through Him, 
is freely offered to all ; and all who repent of sin, and be- 
lieve on Him, have forgiveness and eternal life. — John 
i : 14 29 ; John iii : 14-16 ; Gal. iv : 4, 5. 

6. All vv^ho accept Christ are brought to do so by the 
influence of the Holy Spirit, by means of the truth, in 
fulfilment of the eternal purpose of God. — John.vi : 44, 45; 
John V : 40 ; James i : 18. 

7. All true believers persevere in faith and holiness, 
being "kept by the power of God, through faith unto 
salvation." — John x: 27-29; I Pet. i: 5. 

8. The Law of God contained in the Ten Command- 
ments is the rule of life which all are bound to observe. — 
Ps. xix : 7, 11; Matt, xxii: 37-40; Rom. iii: 31; vii : 
12 ; xiii : 10. 

9. Baptism and the Lord's Supper are Christian Ordi- 



nances ; the latter to be administered to professing be- 
lievers ; and the former to them and their households. — 
Matt, xxviii : 19, 20 ; Luke xxii : ig, 20 ; Acts ii : 39 ; 
I Cor. i : 16 ; I Cor. xi : 23-38 ; Gal. iii : 29. 

10. At the end of the world there will be a resurrec- 
tion of the bodies of all mankind, and a day of judgment, 
when Christ the Judge will sentence the wicked to ever- 
lasting punishment, and the righteous to life eternal. — 
Matt. XXV : 35-46 ; John v : 28, 29 ; Acts xvii : 31. 



CHAPTER IV. 

THE DOOR INTO THE CHURCH. 

We cordially invite people living in the neighborhood 
of our church, and any others v\^ho may find it conven- 
ient or desirable to do so, to m.ake their church home 
with us. 

The Session will hold a meeting for the reception of 
members at the close of the Preparatory Lecture, on the 
Thursday evening preceding the Communion, and at 
such other times as may be necessary. 

Members of other evangelical churches in good stand- 
ing, desiring to connect themselves with the church, are 
admitted to Fellowship and Labor with us, by Letter. 

People coming up out of the world, hearing the Gos- 
pel invitation: ''The Spirit and the bride say Come." 
" Let him that heareth say Come." " Whosoever will 
let him come," and, drawn by the attractiveness of Christ,, 



-12- 



are admitted to the Communion of the church on Pro- 
fession OF THEIR Faith. 

I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
Come unto me and I'est ; 
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down 
Thy head upon my breast. 

I came to Jesus as I was, 
Weary, and worn and sad ; 
I found in Him a resting place, 
And He hath made me glad. 

I heard the voice of Jesus say, 
Behold, and freely give 
The living water : thirsty one 
Stoop down and drink and live. 

I came to Jesus and I drank 

Of that life-giving stream ; 

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived. 

And now I live in Him. BONAR. 



CHAPTER V. 

FORM OF ADMISSION. 

Persons having been previously received by the session, 
are formally admitted into the church at the service of 
the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, held six times a 
year, viz : the first Sunday in the months of February,. 
April, June, August, October, and December. 

The service is held at ii o'clock, the regular hour of 
morning worship, the administration of the sacrement 
taking the place of the sermon. In other respects the 
service is the same as on other Sundays. 



-13- 



At the close of the services which usually precede the 
sermon, the pastor announces the names of those who 
have been admitted by letter, and those who have been 
received by the session and are about to be admitted into 
the church by profession of faith. 

As their names are called, those received by profession 
present themselves before the communion table. 

The pastor then says : 

Dear friends, you are now about to perform one of the 
most solemn, yet joyful acts of your lives. You have 
presented yourselves before God and His people to enter 
publicly into covenant with Him and with them. " You 
are about to confess your faith in Him whom to know 
aright is life eternal, and in whom believing, you have 
joy unspeakable and full of glory. You are about to pro- 
fess it to be the purpose of your hearts to walk separate 
from the world in its ways, its beliefs and its practices. 
It is a solemn and supreme moment ; but fear not. He 
who hath called you by His grace, and quickened you 
by His spirit, will be with you to the end, until your feet 
shall stand in Zion and before God." 

Our Belief. 

Receiving the Scriptures of the Old and New Testa- 
ment as the Word of God and the only infallible rule of 
faith and practice, we believe in the one living and 
true God, revealed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy 
Ghost ; eternal, self-existent, and unchangeable ; infinite 
in every natural and moral perfection, and the only 
proper object of religious worship. 



-14- 



We believe in the universal sinfulness of our race, since 
<'hy one man sin entered into the world, and death by 
sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have 
sinned." 

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, 
having taken upon himself our nature, has by His obe- 
dience, sufferings and death, provided a way of salvation 
for all mankind ; and that through faith in His name, 
whosoever will, may be saved ; for He is the Saviour of 
all men, especially of those that believe. 

We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Spirit of God ; who 
dwelleth in us ; who convinceth of sin, of righteousness, 
and of judgment ; who receiveth the things of Christ and 
showeth them unto us ; an^ by whom we have access unto 
the Father. 

We believe in the Church of which Christ is the Head ; 
and that the Sacraments of Christ's Church are Baptism 
and the Lord's Supper. 

We believe that we must all stand before the judgment 
seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done 
in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be 
good or bad. 

Covenants. 

Accepting this as the faith of the church, you who now 
present ydbrselves to be received into its communion, do 
humbly confess the depravity of your natures, the past 
enmity of your hearts against God, the unbelief which has 
led you to reject a Saviour, and the manifold transgressions 
of your lives, all which sin you do condemn and forever 



-15- 



renounce, avowing your personal sense of the love of God 
in the forgiveness of your sins ; and in the presence of God, 
Angels and Men, do profess the Lord Jehovah to be your 
God and Father ; the Lord Jesus Christ to be your Saviour ; 
the Holy Ghost to be your Sanctifier ; and the Word of 
God to be your rule of faith and practice. 

, You selemnly dedicate yourself to the service of God, 
binding yourself, in humble dependence on Divine Grace, 
to a holy life, to a faithful discharge of every duty, and to 
observe all His Commandments and Ordinances, in the 
Sanctuary, in the Family and in the Closet. 

You do enter into covenant with this church to seek 
its peace, purity, and edification, and to submit to the 
government and discipline of Christ as here administered. 
This you do severally pi'ofess and engage. 

[Baptism will be administered to those who have not been bap- 
tized in infancy.] 

[Those to be received by letter will rise in their places and take 
the following covenant :] 

Having already made a public profession of your faith 
in Christ, and solemnly dedicated yourself to His service, 
in connection with another church, and now being trans- 
ferred to this church at your own request, you do cove- 
nant to walk with us in love and christian fellowship ; to 
kindly give and receive admonitions ; to submit to the 
order and discipline of this church of Christ, and in all 
things to seek its peace and prosperity. 

Do you thus covenant and promise ? 

[The members of the church will i-ise to take part in the cov- 
enant.] 



-16- 



We then, the members of this church, in view of these 
your professions and engagements, do now receive you 
to our communion, and welcome you to this fellowship 
with iis, in the life of faith and obedience to our Common 
Master ; and may God grant that we may all walk to- 
gether as fellow-heirs of the grace of Christ, that we may 
at length receive the crown of life that fadeth not away. 

The Lord bless you and keep you. 

The Lord make His face to shine upon you, and be 
gracious unto you. 

The Lord lift the light of His countenance upon you, 
and grant you peace. Amen.

Duties of Church Members to the Church, 

Extracts from a tract by Rev. Thomas Murphy, D. D. 

1. — To p7'ay for the Church. — "The great object to be 
sought in prayer is the influence of tiie Holy Ghost." 

To pray for the church is to pray for the advancement 
of our own spiritual interests." "Let prayer for the 
church then, be considered a duty, a privilege, the omis- 
sion of which is not to be thought of." " If 1 forgef thee, 
O, Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning. 
If I do not remember thee let my tongue cleave to the 
roof of my mouth." 

2. — To Attend Church. — "To neglect the ordinances of 
God is to help destroy them, to stand in CnQ way of the 
conversion of sinners, and of the promotion of God's 
Glory." 

"Attend upon the ordinances and you hon-^r the Lord 
whose dwelling place is there. Attend th: _ you may 
cheer and help your brethren. Attend that your example 
may draw strangers to the sound of the Gospel. Attend 
for your own spiritual profiting, which will be best pro- 
moted there." 

"Attend upon the second service of the Lord's day, for 
that is the time when strangers are likely to be present 
and may be impressed. Attend upon the meeting in the 
middle of the week, that the distractions of the world may 
be broken in upon. Be absent from the Sanctuary no 
more than you would be absent from your daily meals, 
for your soul is dependent upon the one 3^our body is 
upon the other. And let us consider one ^oilier to pro- 
voke unto love and good works, not forsaking the assembl- 
ing of ourselves together as the manner of some is, but 
exhorting one another." 

3. — To support the Chu7rh. — "No one should be satis- 
fied without bearing some of the expense of conducting 



-18- 



the worship of God's house. The resolution of King Da- 
vid, should be that of every member of the church : Nei- 
ther will I olfer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of 
that which costs me nothing. Every man should give as 
he is able, according as he hath been blessed of God." 

4. — To draw others to Churcli. — "Every man, woman 
and child has some advantages, some influences, some 
power, by which they may bring others to the house of 
God. Let every one then listen to the command : Go 
ye out into the highways and hedges and compel them 
to come in that my house may be full. Gather the peo- 
ple together ; men, women, and children, and the stranger 
that is within thy gates, that they may hear, and that they 
may learn, and fear the Lord your God, and observe to 
do all the words of this law." 

5. — To study the peace of the Church. — Great, stress is 
laid on this duty in the Word of God. " Pray for the 
peace of Jerusalem ; they shall prosper that love thee. 
Peace be within thy walls and prosperity v/ithin thy pal- 
aces. Be at peace among yourselves. If it be possible, 
as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men. 
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye 
love one another. Behold, how good and how pleasant 
it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." 

" It should be the fixed purpose among church mem- 
bers not to strive but to be like him of whom it is said : 
He shall not strive nor cry, neither shall any man hear 
his voice in the street ; a bruised reed shall He not break, 
nor smoking flax shall He not quench." 

6. — To guard the good name of the Church. — " The good 
name of the church is her great power. This good name 
of the church is a sacred trust committed to our keeping. 
Do not disparage your own church, in comparison with 
others. Do not censure your church, her officers, her 
members, but rather defend her when right, and use every 



-19- 



possible effort to have what you think wrong., amended. 
Walk about Zion, and go round about her ; tell the towers 
thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces 
that ye may tell it to the generations following." 

7. — To contribute to the benevolent work of the Church. — 
Giving to the cause of God is an act of worship. 

The amount to be given by each is a matter purely be- 
tween himself and his God. Honor the Lord with thy 
substance, and vfith the first fruit of ail thy increase." 

8. — To engage in some branch of Church work. — Hear 
and heed the call : " Come up to the help of the Lord, to 
the help of the Lord against the mighty." To every 
man his work." Every member should study carefully 
what he can do, and then labor faithfully in his chosen 
and proper sphere of church work, for To him that 
knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." 



Rule of Infant Baptism. 

Suffer the little children to come unto Me and forbid 
them not, for of such is the kingdom of God. And He 
took them up in His arms, put His hands upon them and 
blessed them. — Mark x : 14, 16, 

This rite is observed on Communion Sabbaths immedi- 
ately before the admission of members. 

One or both parents must be members of this or some 
other church of the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Parents are requested to bring, on a slip of paper, 

plainly written, the names of both the parents, the name 

of the child and the date of- its birth. 

[At the invitation of the Pastor, the parents present their children 
before the pulpit.] 

The pastor then says : 



-20- 



God in and of His mercy, was pleased to make an 
everlasting covenant with Abraham, in which he promised 
that He would be a God unto him and to his seed after 
him," which should be as numerous as ''the dust of the 
earth" and the "stars of heaven," and that ''in him 
should all families of the earth be blessed." — Gen. xii : 
1-3 ; xii : 14-15 ; xv : 4-6 ; xvii : 1-4. . 

Abraham and his seed in their generations, were com- 
manded to keep the covenant by circumcising every male 
child ; and the neglect of this would be breaking the 
covenant, to be punished with death.— Gen. xvii : 9-14. 

This covenant was not annulled by the giving of the 
law, (Gal. iii : 17) nor by the coming of Christ, for we 
read : — Gal. iii : 29 — "Those that are Christ's are Abra- 
ham's seed and heirs according to the promise," and, 
" the promise is to us and our children." — Acts ii : 39. — 
But by authority of Christ baptism was substituted for cir- 
cumcision, and is to be applied to all children of believers, 
females as well as males. The covenant is conditional, 
and in order to derive real benefit from the observance 
of the rite, it is necessary that we should have faith in the 
covenant, and faithfulness in keeping it. 

In presenting your child for baptism you hereby solemn- 
ly profess your belief in Jehovah, the covenant-keeping 
God, and in Christianity, as the system of Religion re- 
vealed in the Holy Scriptures, for the salvation of the 
world. 

Trusting in God for strength, you promise that you 
will bring up the child " in the nurture and admonition 



-21- 



• of the Lord ;" that you will diligently instruct it in the 
doctrines and duties of Christianity, and will humbly 
endeavor, by the steady influence of discipline and ex- 
ample to lead it in the ways of true godliness. 

The rite is then administered, followed by prayer. 

Duties of Parents to Baptized Children. 

1. — To plead the covenant in their behalf. — Faith has its 
legitimate exercise, its highest work, and most glorious 
reward here. 

2. — To teach them the meaning and the privilege of the 
rite of Baptism. — A bapti '.ed child is a child of the coven-

CHAPTER YIL 

ABSENT MEMBERS. 

In accordance with the provisions made by the Con- 
stitution of our Church in the case of absent members, 
(Book of Disciphne, Chap, xi,) and the authoritative 
explanation thereof, as given by Acts of the General 
Assembly, (See Moore's Digest, pp. 622-629,) the follow- 
ing regulations have been adopted, and will govern the 
action of this Session in the premises : 

1. In the case of church members who have been 
absent more than a year without having applied for Let- 
ters of Dismission, the Session will, through its officers, 
or committees, write to such persons when their residence 
can be ascertained, inquiring why they have not applied 
for letters, and urging upon them the duty of so doing 
whenever it is possible. 

2. When members remove to a distance and neglect 
for one year or more to apply for letters of dismission, 
and good standing, the letter given them shall testify to 
their good character and standing only up to the time 
of their removal, unless the Session have good informa- 
tion relative thereto, of a more recent date. 

3. At the expiration of two years, all members whose 
residences are unknown, or who have failed to answer 
satisfactorily the letters of the Session, shall be suspended 
from church membership, and their names be placed on 



-24- 



a separate roll, until by letter or presence they shall give 
a satisfactory account of themselves. 

4. No person will be received into this church on a 
letter that is more than one year old, unless upon inquiry 
the Session is satisfied of the good character and stand- 
ing of the bearer.

IX. The Benediction is pronounced. 

Prayer Meeting. 

The weekly meeting for prayer and conference is held 
on Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Every member of 
the church should not only regard it as a duty, but 
esteem it a high privilege to attend this meeting when- 
ever possible, and be willing to make any reasonable 
sacrifice to do so ; for it is justly held to be a most im- 
portant means of grace. 



The Young People's Flayer Meeting, is held on Sunday 
evening at a quarter past six o'clock. 

This meeting is conducted by the young people of the 
church, and is well sustained. It is a good place for 
all young christians, who hope to be of service in Christ's 
cause, to acquire and cultivate the habit of taking part in 
meetings. They will thus be prepared for larger and 
more important duties.

The school meets at half-past nine o'clock Sabbath 
morning, and the session lasts one hour and fifteen min- 
utes, the first thirty minutes being occupied with the 
opening exercises, including singing, reading the lesson 
in concert, prayer, taking the collections, marking class- 
books, and making announcements. Thirty-five minutes 
are then devoted to the uninterrupted study of the lesson, 
and ten minutes to the closing exercises, including the 
distribution of library books. 

Four years ago the school numbered about 150, with 
an average attendance of scarcely more than 100. The 
number on the roll at the close of 1880, was 389, and 
the average attendance for the year 191, showing an in- 
crease of about 150 per cent, in number* of scholars, and 
100 per cent, in attendance in the four years.

butions representing labor and self-denial, and by direct- 



-29- 



ing such contributions into channels best calculated to 
promote the cause of missions. 

All officers and members of the Sunday School are 
members of the society.

Library. 

Our Library, which is not alone for the Sunday School, 
but is adapted and intended for the use of the Church 
and Congregation as well, is an exceedingly valuable one, 
and is kept in excellent condition at the expense of much 
time and labor freely bestowed by our indefatigable Li- 
brarian. It has been mainly formed during the last eight 
years, and contains many valuable books of reference, 
books on special subjects, and books of history, biography 
and travel, in addition to the classes of books usually 
found in Sunday School libraries. Its growth has been 
constant, new books being added almost daily, one, or 



-30- 

two, or more, at a time. This plan has been followed in 
preference to the plan of periodical purchases in larger 
numbers, as it seemed on the whole much more satisfac- 
tory, and has kept the Library constantly supplied with 



new and fresh material.

CHAPTER X. 

LADIES' HOME MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 

The objects of this society are to secure systematic 
contributions for Home Missions, to disseminate mis- 
sionary intelligence, and to encourage Christian effort, 
and benevolent enterprise in our own immediate vicinity. 

Any lady of the Church or Congregation may become 



-31- 



a member of the society by payment of ten cents per 
month into its Treasury.

In addition to the above cash remittances to the Board,

was sent to the family of a Home Missionary in Texas. 



CHAPTER XI. 

THE LADIES' AID SOCIETY. 

The object of this society is to facilitate social inter- 
course among the members, to extend courtesy to stran- 
gers in our congregation, to raise funds for such objects 
as in its judgment shall best serve the interests of the 
church, and to promote the welfare of the church in any 
other manner that circumstances may indicate. 

Its officers are a President, three Vice Presidents, Sec- 
retary, Treasurer, and a Board of twelve IManagers. 

A sociable is held by the society in the Lecture room 
of the church on the first Friday evening of each month, 
at which refreshments of cake and coffee are served to 
all without charge. An admission fee of ten cents is 
collected at the door. 

Strangers and occasional worshippers are gladly wel- 



-32- 



comed to these sociables, and it is the purpose and en- 
deavor to make them feel as much at home as do the 
members of the church and congregation to whom these 
gatherings afford opportunities for becoming acquainted 
with each other, and for social intercourse, which other- 
wise, to a very large extent, they would not enjoy, and 
are thus the means of cultivating the social life of the 
church, and of adding to its power and usefulness. 

Occasional entertainments of a musical or literary 
character are given under the auspices of the society, and 
a strawberry festival is held each year, in May or June. 

The receipts and disbursements of the society during 
the year 1880, were as follows :

CHAPTER XII. 



LITERARY SOCIETY. 

This Society was organized in November 1880, for the 
purpose of giving musical and literary entertainments at 
the church, in which the members of the church, congre- 
gation, and Sunday School should be the participants. 

These entertainments are held on the third Friday 
evening of each month during the fall and winter. The 
exercises consist of readings, rescitations, singing, instru- 
mental music, reading original essays and debates. Those 
already held have been very successful, both in the char- 
acter of the entertainment provided, and the numbers 
who have attended ; and it is believed that the society 
through this means will prove an important instrument 
in attracting and interesting young people, not only in 
this direction, but in the general affairs and work of the 
church. 

The officers of the society are a President and Secre- 
tary, and an Executive Committee of nine, including the 
President and Secretary. 

It is the business of the Executive Committee to decide 
upon the character of the entertaiements, and to arrange 
the programmes for them.
